Discussion of Robin Garr's Caffe Classico review

Caffe Classico: A classic in Clifton
Voice-Tribune review by Robin Garr

You would think that everyone in town knows that Caffe Classico is far more than just another Frankfort Avenue coffee shop by now. After all, I’ve probably told about 80 percent of you personally!

But for whatever reason this Clifton jewel remains undiscovered, at least by quite a few, so let’s say it again, this time to the whole group of you: “Caffe Classico is far more than just another coffee shop!”

I mean it, now. This bright, classy spot at the corner of Frankfort and Clifton may have started out a decade or so back as a coffee shop – and a very, very good one – but it has gone far beyond that status, spreading out into a much larger footprint that incorporates an upscale-casual dining room with cozy bar and space for flamenco concerts and live guitar.

Caffe Classico’s tongue-in-cheek neon window sign lights up when the eatery is open. Indeed, it announces this good news in English, Spanish and Arabic. This inclusive approach hints at the eclectic fill of fare: The extensive dinner menu, which spans the Mediterranean and the coasts of South America and California, offers about 40 choices, including about a dozen appetizers, soups and salads, another dozen sandwiches and panini; 10 impressive entrees and a quartet of thin-crust pizzas that rank, in my book, among the most authentic Euro-style pies in town.

Our food and experience at Cafe Classico have always been excellent! Thanks for writing this for the 80% who seemed to have forgotten what you told them, Robin. :wink: :lol:

I've said it before - the saffron risotto cakes on the lima bean succotash is one of my favorite dishes anywhere.
